Dr. González joins us from the University of British Columbia, where she was a post-doctoral fellow in the Biodiversity Research Centre & Department of Zoology. She earned her Ph.D. in biological sciences (ecology) from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, where she studied how ecosystems respond to spatial and temporal variation in water and nutrient availability. Dr. González’s research explores how the supply, flux, and allocation of energy and matter constrain the structure and functioning of ecological systems (i.e., food webs and ecosystems).
